I realized I never posted this one after I finished it. It was for a show called “TOYS” and so I thought of the scariest toy I’d ever seen, one of those damn Jolly Chimps and painted it up. I know I posted the process on here, but here’s what it ended up looking like. It’s about 24” x 36” I think. It never sold, but it at least got a lot of people looking at it at the show! Place was packed.

The idea is that he’s too scary so someone tossed him in a closet where he reigns as king freaky monkey over the mountains of dust and paper clips (and one particularly nice looking thumb tack)

This is one of my favorites things from you. And i think 359$ is pretty much Okey for this.
I loved this kind of monkeys sinse early 90th. I wasn't sure where they came from. I was just seeing them randomly. Toy Story 3 with one of these things blew my mind. It was a flashback. And again after seeing this picture i remembered how i was into "Circus PUNK" (clowns, monkeys, magicians).
Yeah. i broke my brain searching this toy on Ebay.

Ahhah, thank you! I didn't realize they were so rare honestly. I love circusy stuff too but man this walks a very thin line and I don't think I'd ever want one o _o

yeah i can imagine a reason. Actually i don't like some real monkeys because they kinda remind me of weird acting people (humans by anatomy, but still not humans), but evil\cartoony ones have their charm. I guess it's because their weird human anatomy + some horror-features make them looks like little demons or something...

It took me forever to win one on ebay! Plus most em are so old they're in bad condition or busted, so you gotta find the right one! Awesome piece!

Dude I just saw on your tumblr what you priced it at. Which is totally reasonable because this is a HUGE piece, and hella well done, but I can kind of understand why it didn't sell. It's likely that the few who could stand to hang this terrifying monkey in their home, just didn't have the cash to spend on it. If you keep offering it online though I bet someone will love it who can also afford it. It just might be one of those pieces that takes a long time to sell.
